AI chatbot’s
To declare a victor in this widely discussed thought experiment—and things aren’t shaping up well for humanity.
According to
ChatGPT
The significant difference in physique between gorillas and humans would make things extremely challenging for the 100 unfortunate men selected to fight. As stated by the AI chatbot, “A silverback gorilla may tip the scales at over 400 pounds and could possess as much as five to ten times the strength of an average person.”

They have the ability to lift or toss objects beyond human capability, and their biting strength exceeds 1,300 pounds per square inch, more powerful than that of a lion.
Grok expressed a similar sentiment, additionally drawing attention to the gorilla’s impenetrable skin. “Their thick skin and powerful build make them resistant to unarmed attacks,” it wrote.
“Even with numbers, the men would struggle to inflict meaningful damage without weapons, while the gorilla could cause severe injuries or fatalities with single blows or bites.
“Coordinated strategy might help, but the physical disparity is too vast, and panic would likely disrupt any plan.”
Taking to social media, droves of X and Reddit users have proposed coordinated strategies that could propel the 100 men to victory. Some have suggested that the humans use their numbers advantage to swarm and immobilize the gorilla, while others proposed a divided attack in which smaller groups attempt to agitate and tire out the silverback.
ChatGPT swiftly shut down all plans, insisting that chaos would ensue the moment the bell rings. “Even if 100 men tried to rush the gorilla, the first several rows would be decimated almost instantly,” it said.
Many individuals lack training in combat, making it incredibly challenging to organize them effectively in tight spaces. Fear, delays, and disarray would diminish their impact nearly to zero.
Simply put, the mere presence of a gorilla could make most people stand still or retreat. The men would need to rush and subdue it manually, but this task is nearly unachievable because of the gorilla’s immense strength and dexterity.
This doesn’t mean, however, that the 100 men lack any possibility of surviving. ChatGPT outlined two situations where the humans emerged victorious over the gorilla, although each scenario involved extremely high casualties.
“In the best-case scenario: Many of the men succeed in overwhelming and ultimately exhausting or asphyxiating the gorilla—but dozens would still sustain serious injuries or lose their lives in the process,” ChatGPT stated.
“Most likely: The gorilla would injure or kill many before succumbing (if it even does), making it a pyrrhic or complete loss for the humans.”
Given the glimmer of hope presented by ChatGPT, it begs the question: could 100 of
Mike Tyson
– dubbed the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ – go toe-to-toe with a gorilla?
“Yes – 100 prime Mike Tysons could beat a gorilla in a fight with no weapons, but only through sheer numbers, and it would still be a brutal, costly battle,” ChatGPT conceded.
“The first 5–10 Tysons who engage would likely be brutally injured or killed. The gorilla would toss, bite, or crush several before being overwhelmed.
In time, the team would encircle and pile onto the gorilla. Given the combined strength of numerous top-tier athletes pushing against it from every direction, they might manage to keep it restrained, render it unconscious, or even potentially suffocate it.
